Griggs at Home.
Mr. Jim Griggs, our Hearst
Congressman, was in Albany,
one d ,y this week. The Augus¬
ta Chro iefe says that he brought
Mr. H.mrstfe’ judiciary agent,
one Isein, along with him. We
are loath to believe that Hearst
could buy up the voters of the
SeconJ Congressional, even
thougli he could seduce so nice a
man as Mr. Jim to disburse the
hoodie.—Bainbridge Argus.
Newspapers or individuals who
undertake to throw public senti¬
ment against a man in the -man¬
ner sought in the above item al¬
ways fa !. The people of thp2nd
district are not for sale and the
editor of the Argus knows it,
tkeiefore his insinuation is Un¬
just.
Solicitor W. E. Wooten.
Col. W. E. Wooten, the able
and efficient Solicitor General of
the Albany circuit of the Super¬
ior Court, is * candidate for re
election, and, although he has no
opposition, his friends will be
glad to turn out and vote for him
in the Democratic primary on
the 20th of April.
The position which Col. Woot¬
en has now held for a good many
years is a very desirable one, and
the fact that he is to be permitted
ta take another term without a
contest is conclusive evidence of
the fact that he is not only faith¬
ful and efficient in the discharge
of the duties of the office, but
that he has the confidence and
good will of the people of the
circuit.
Col. Wooten is popular with
the people throughout this part
of the state, and especially at
home, and his friends in Albany
and Dougherty county are grati¬
fied that he is to be permitted to
take another term of office with¬
out'opposition.
Although Col. Wooten has no
opposition. hi3 friends in the sev¬
eral counties of the Albany cir¬
cuit are requested to see to it
that his name appears on their
tickets when they vote in the
primary on the 20th of April.—
Albany Herald.
Tne Enterprise endorses what
the Herald says of Col. Wooten
in the above as will his many
friends in Mitchell county.
If it’s a bilious attack, take Chamber¬
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets arid a

The Democratic executive com¬
mittee, of Laurens county, has
very properly passed strong rules
against the use of money and
whisky in the primary, and will
declare not]nominated resorted any candi¬
date who to money or
liquor to help secure his nominal
tion.—Macon News.
It would not be a bad idea for
the executive committee of Mitch¬
ell to adopt the same rule. The
candidates would save money
and the voter would not be de¬
bauched.
Communication.
To the Voters ofrMifcehel! County.
GentlemenThe wet and dry
election is over and our county
has gone wet. Now, inasmuch
as we all pass under such ruling,
we all should tip our hats and
bow to the majority.
It behooves us not to be caught
napping but rather up and doing.
Brother voter, it is a foregone
conclusion that we will have
whiskey sold by the dispensary
system.
The intention of this article is
to prove the cause why the net
money arising from the sale of
same, should go to the county,
school fund as a supplement or
substitute to the state fund.
1st. The money is needed
there worse than anywhere else.
“Prove that,” said one. Well,
we haven’t a respectable school
building in this county, outside
of our beautiful little towns. Our
county teachers are so poorly
paid that for this reason we can’t
expect well experienced teachers
and the good cause goes lacking.
2nd, We all know who spends
the money in the dispensary, it
is the poor and not the i ich as a
rule. Thi3, then, gives them a
right to the money.
3rd. Gentlemen, we all know
that this is the only available
money for that purpose. This ie
the peop'es’ money, and they
have a legal right to claim it;
and will do so at the polls.
Now Mr. Editor, we appeal to
no other law than that of justice,
and by this we will stand firm.
We want to ask those who dif¬
fer with us to give us proof meas¬
ured by the law of justice. How
can they get their consent to
patronize after a form which is
now in operation in Terrell coun¬
ty ? In Terrell the towns retain
half the money', the other half
goes in the county treasury, and
is used to pay the taxes of the
county. The part retained in
town relieves said town of all city
tax, also gives the towns good
schools, taught by first class
teachers. To those who differ
with us we do not come asking
anything, we ace only contending
for our rights. Nothing short of
this can be tolerated in the county
So to settle the matter for good
and always, yield to the rule of
“Equal Rights to All and Special
Privileges to None.”
Who can object to this: We
are willing for the towns to have
half the sales, or money taken in,
or we are willing for the town to
retain running expenses, only
providing no city tax shall be
levied or assessed on the busi¬
ness. We are prepared with
good debators. Don’t be back¬
ward in calling us on the stump.
Nothing would give us more
pleasure than to meet you on the
stump and discuss this question.
This will do at present. How¬
ever if we are not invited to the
stump we may write again. Now
Mr. Editor, thanking you in ad¬
vance for publishing this we re¬
main Yours as ev6r,
N. B. Davis.
M’ch 14, 1904.
The subject of school-room
decoration is now engaging the
thoughtful attention of school
authorities everywhere- The ob¬
ject is tcf beautify, in some de¬
gree, the surroundings of the
pupil, and thus not only make
them more inviting, but educa¬
tive in their influence, as well;
for it is generally recognized
that a perception of the beautiful
and the true, by cultivating the
aethetic nature of the child, has
a distinct educational and ethical
value.—Bainbridge Democrat.
To Cure a Cold in One Day
Take Laxative Broruo Quinine Tablets.
All druggists refund the money if it fails
to cure. E. W. Grove’s signature is on
each box. 25e.
Camilla needs more streets and
smaller cotton patches and corn¬
fields within the corporate limits.
The town council ewes it to the
public and the tax payers to see
to it that Railroad street is opened
through to Broad. Really there
is no way to get to the depot from
that part of town except over the
right-of-way of the railroad. A
new street is needed continuing
first and second South streets
through to Harney, and new
streets everywhere on the sub¬
urbs. People will not buy lots
until the lots are laid off. Peo¬
ple can’t move to Camilla be¬
cause they can’t buy lota. Open
them up and build for yourselves
and your town.
Don’t fail to get a boy’s felt
hat for 10c at the Cincinnati

Hon. H M. McIntosh, the vet¬
eran editor of the Albany Herald,
is announced by his friends as a
candidate to represent the 2nd
Congressional district at the Na¬
tional Democratic Convention in
St Louis. Mr. McIntosh has been
a faithful servantof the party and
has done much for Democracy in
the 2nd Congressional district and
in honoring him can but honor
itself.
